The Painted Bird
by Jerzy Kosiński
Kosiński writes of unbelievable horror and vulgarity with a matter-of-fact tone, delivering the grossest of inhumanities with scientific clarity. However, the Narrator's naïve observations briefly soften the story. There are moments of searing introspection and commentary on the complexity of the human condition, and through a little boy's wanderings through the violence of war-torn eastern Europe, a far greater story of good versus evil is told.
